Experience the charm of Istrian villages and the richness of olives: Embark on a panoramic journey to the secluded village of St. Peter, where you can explore ‘Tona’s House’, an ethnological museum that brings you face-to-face with the traditional lifestyle of a rural family from historical times. Travel to Koštabona, a previous territory of the Roman Empire, with its temple devoted to Bona Dea that inspired the village’s current name. Discover the village of Hrastovlje and its treasured monument, Hrastovlje Holy Trinity Church. Erected in the 12th Century, the church features breathtaking frescoes that glaze every corner, including the renowned Dance of Death. Izola, despite its small size, is a captivating coastal town steeped in fishing heritage and agricultural traditions. Meander through narrow lanes and squares revealing sturdy stone houses, religious structures and enjoy samples of unrefined olive oil (cold-pressed), marinated olives, sundried tomatoes with capers, local wine, and homemade liquor. There’s a splendid chance to purchase these locally produced items.
